Sarah,
I sail with Harper out here in the Caribbean. I have a I-17 Euro, and we just have fun going at each other.
Have you sailed the FX-1's down there? Is so, and it was good, ta da.....that is a good sign!
Whatever you choose, you won't lose...you will have fun.
Here is the REAL question,.....all of us want to come down and sail in a race in Kuwait!......can you all get a sponser to provide shipping for our boats and we will all come !...heck, we can sleep on the beach in tents if we had to!
It would be a great event for the cat racers and for the World to see!
..just an idea and welcome to the sport!...bring your friends!
regards,
Bruce

ps, by the way, your FX will be the Euro vesion, with the really cool one piece aluminum mast,..not the combo/job the USA gets,..I looked at Harpers mast and it is real nice..
